For most people, the happiness of finding true love, deciding on matrimony, and building a loving family together is the greatest desire in life.

However, many couples get into long-term relationships without knowing each others health status; as a result, they may end up later in an unhappy marriage due to health conditions, medical limitations, or physical infirmities.

It is crucial not to dismiss pre-marital health checkups out of hand before deciding to tie the knot and live together as a couple. Knowing a partners untoward health status does not preclude marriage.

On the contrary, it helps couples receive appropriate medical treatment early on to prevent the risks of potential health issues that may ensue.

Identifying and addressing health issues before a lifelong commitment helps reduce unnecessary burdens and risks that may crop up during marital life while contributing to a safe, worry-free, and smooth-sailing marriage.

Pre-wedding checkup, or pre-marital health checkup, is a screening test to assess the health of soon-to-be married couples, particularly for those who are planning a wedding. They consist of a group of health tests for both females and males.

Specialist doctors design the test to identify potential future health issues that could affect fertility and to detect health issues, including latent hereditary traits and infectious diseases, specifically sexually transmitted diseases, to prevent the risk of passing the infection to the partner and their offspring. Pre-marital planning before conceiving a child will help engender readiness, confidence, and understanding between the couples, including the long-term planning for family members and helping to comprehend the status of each partners health.

Why a pre-wedding checkup
1.    Prevent the transmission of heritable thalassemia, hemophilia, sickle-cell anemia disorders, and infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS, or other sexually transmitted diseases.
2.    Identify genetic change to assess the risk of being a carrier for transmission to offspring.
3.    Promote awareness and understanding of the couples health before securing a sturdy future together.
4.    Prepare family members mentally and physically for the prospective baby.
5.    Reduce the risk of unnecessary, preventable medical expenses in the future.
6.    Aids in the reduction of stress and other psychological tensions for family members if treatment comes up.

The wedding ceremonies may take a few days, but the marriages last a lifetime. Matrimony is a fundamental social foundation in building a good emotional bond and a healthy family.

Pre-wedding checkups assist couples in determining their health compatibility; helping in making the best prenatal preparations and preventing the transmission of undesirable hereditary, contagious, and infectious diseases to future family members; creating an intimate, strong family bond by having healthy physical and mental health for long-lasting happiness.
